Collective Bias came in at No. 18 in the Forbes magazine list of 25 promising, privately-held, high-growth companies. The list included companies with less than $250 million in annual revenue; Collective Bias revenue is near $16 million, Forbes said.

Collective Bias was founded in 2009 in Bentonville, but it now has satellite offices in New York, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Chicago, Toronto and London.

Tuesday’s recognition as one of the nation’s most promising companies accounted for the third time since February last year that Forbes has taken note of the Collective Bias success.
